Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The method used to cook a potato on top of Mount Everest is to be stated and the reason for choosing the method is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The pressure exerted by the vapors when in equilibrium with the liquid is known as vapor pressure of the liquid. It increases as the temperature increases. The boiling of a liquid starts when its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Let's go back once more to the top of Mount Everest. You wanted to cook a potato as quickly as possible. You could either boil the potato (you already have a pot of water boiling) or throw it into a campfire. Explain which method you would use and why.
55. A typical rate of deposit of dust ("dustfall") from unpolluted air is 10. tons per square mile per
month. What is this dustfall, expressed in mg per square meter per hour? Assume 1 ton = 2000. lbs. and
1 month = 30 days.
12. Pure chlorine enters a process. By measurement it is found that 2.4 kg
of chlorine pass into the process every 3.1 minutes. Calculate the molar

- Use the information below to answer questions 1- 3. PCI,(g) 2 PCI;(g) + Cl2(8) PCI,(g) decomposes into PCI,(g) and Cl,(8) according to the equation above. A pure sample of PCI,(g) is placed in a rigid, evacuated 1.00 L container. The initial pressure of the PCI5(g) is 1.00 atm. The temperature is held constant until the PCI,(g) reaches equilibrium with its decomposition products. The figures below show the initial and equilibrium conditions of the system.

- Below is a chart that represents temperature data obtained when a sample of water (H2O) is heated for 16 minutes and changes from the liquid to gas phase. Plot the data for the measurements given below. Being able to create graphs and interpret graphs is an integral part of any science course. You can use the graph paper included in this document, an Excel spreadsheet or your own graph paper. The time measurements are the x-axis coordinates. The temperature measurements are the y-axis coordinates. Space your axes in consecutive intervals such as units of 1, 5 or 10. Make sure to label your axes with the appropriate information, including the time and temperature units (minutes and °C). Give the graph the title “Phase Change of Water”.arrow_forwardBelow are 3 real life situations. Pick two (2) them and explain ALL the science involved in the scenario. This means describe things like what is happening to the gas/liquid/solid molecules or atoms, which principles or laws are at work, why what is happening is happening, and how you know. At sea level, a pot of water will boil at 100 °C. Suppose you wanted to boil the same amount of water high in the Rocky Mountains. What do you expect the temperature will need to be (generally speaking)? Why? A can of soda sits in a sunny spot on the window sill for several hours. It is then opened at the same time as a cold can of soda from the refrigerator. What happens and why? Weather balloons do not float out into space. They reach an altitude of about 15 miles above the surface (3x the height of Mt Everest) and they burst. Why?arrow_forwardAn organic chemist isolates a colorless liquid from a petroleum sample. She places the liquid in a pre-weighed flask and puts the flask in boiling water, which vaporizes the liquid and fills the flask with gas. She closes the flask and reweighs it. She obtains the following data: Volume (V) of flask = 196 ml T = 99.1°C P= 751 mmHg mass of flask + gas = 81.5 g mass of flask = 78.3 g Calculate the molar mass (in g/mol) of the liquid.arrow_forward
- Your baby brother is toddling around the house, playing with a toy balloon. You decide to teach him something about physics, so you take the balloon away from him and hide it in the freezer. (His cries are enough to convince you that he is excited about this learning experience.) a) If the temperature inside your house is 25° Celsius, while the temperature inside the freezer is -10° Celsius, then by what percentage will the volume of the balloon change? We will take the pressure inside the balloon as constant. When you put the balloon in the refrigerator, it will shrink. (Try it and see!) c) Sketch a p-V diagram for the gas inside the balloon as it cools inside the regrigerator.
